Keychain Access
November 28th, 2003
A few observations and feature suggestions:
- For encrypted notes and passwords, rather than having only the “Copy Note/Password to Clipboard” button, why not make the icon to the left of the name field function as a proxy icon for drag and drop use? This could save several steps in situations where your drop destination is already visible.
- For the sake of consistency and adherence to their own UI guidelines, Apple should move the “Show Status In Menu Bar” item out of the View menu and to a preference window as is done with iSync.
- The old black padlock icon is still used and placed in the toolbar (which needs to have the Command-Option-T Show/Hide keystroke added), rather than the new brass padlock in the lower-left corner of the window, which appears in several System Preference panes (Network, Accounts, Startup Disk). NetInfo Manager and Directory Access also need to be updated to use the new icon.
- Adding a “Lock/Unlock” Dock menu item might make sense. The menu extra can be used to control this, but that is also the case with iSync, which has both a menu bar item and Dock menu for syncing.
